Magic promos now have text. So that's not a fair comparison. Nevertheless Pokemon does the same with their highest rare cards in each set. Granted they also have text. I don't know where you can vote for this (better not be on Facebook), but I'd vote no just cause I would also want the text to overlap the picture.

It's not a comparison - it's just an observation that originality clearly does not work for anything BandaiCG is in charge of, so they should "borrow" ideas from other proven games to pull Naruto out of its cesspool of mediocrity.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Knowing the effect of a textless card would be no different than having to know what the current effect of "Clash".

Also a judge would be on hand a premiere events to let your opponent know its effect if they already didn't.

long as it works like this, i'm more than okay with this! Sounds great and i'm always down for more resons to reprint stuff! Even better, you can reprint some of the vanilla stuff (*Cough*Ino*cough*JiroboS1*cough*) and you don't even really need to remember the text.
Either way though, 100% support.

I know of the style you are referring to which is a form of border-less art (examples below).



That is a happy medium between what we have now with our minimal text SRs and the current poll for text less which is the far extreme. I'm just gauging interest is all.

This will probably next weeks poll.

I hate cards without text (or in alternate languages).

I would much prefer the pokemon example. Full art, but still with text.

I semi-agree. If getting something similar to the pokemon is feasible, then I would personally prefer that
However if not, i'm not opposed to the idea.

I like the design of the pokemon promo the best. no borders anywhere at all but still with visible text. as a 2nd, i would pick the text-less over the magic w/ text design + borders. It's the least impressive.
